How to know the authenticity of the monk's identity?
Ask them a few random questions and see if they can answer them. I often meet such fake monks in the street, and they have all been arrested by the police. By the way, this kind of deceptive group usually has fake discs. Unless you are a Buddhist, most people can't see the truth of this thing at all, so their certificates are also false. The best way is to ask questions directly and see if he can answer them.
I usually ask directly: What's the name of the Buddha? How old was Sakyamuni Buddha when he entered Nirvana? Become a Buddha there? What is Sanfa Seal? What is the Eight Right Path? This is the most basic, and most fake monks can't answer it.
Of course, if you want to know the answer to your question, you can ask deeper questions. If it is true, you can ask basic questions and see your own level. In fact, identifying them is very simple.
First of all, ordinary real monks don't beg for alms on the road! In addition, these swindlers often say that they came down from the mountain and will give you an amulet, and then ask you to donate some money and invoice you. Actually, they are all liars. In fact, if you observe Buddhism for a long time, you will find many defects.
For example, although the clothes they wear look like monks' clothes, the specifications are very problematic and they are often shoddy. At first glance, I know that it is not produced by a regular manufacturer, and then ordinary fake monks shave their heads. But if you meet a woman, you can see that these fake nuns are all wearing fake monk hats, and you can see at a glance that she has hair on both sides. You let her take off her hat, this woman must have hair! How can a monk have hair if he is really a monk?
In fact, it is not difficult to expose them. The so-called guilty conscience is easy to expose.
These fake monks are fooling around outside, ruining the reputation of Buddhism and making the public lose confidence in Buddhism. This crime is boundless.
